Exogal Vortex X2 Streaming Hub w/USB Hub

The EXOGAL Vortex X2 has all the functionality of the X1, with the addition of a full-featured USB hub.

The EXOGAL Vortex Streaming Hub family provides the simplest way for
you to play your digital media into an EXOGAL system. The integrated
Network and USB hubs make it easy to bring all your music sources
together, whether it's digital media on a network NAS drive, a USB
external hard drive, streamed off a computer, or streamed from the
Internet, as well as from CD players or other media devices. And the
Vortex family requires virtually no network configuration meaning it's
simple to set up. Just plug it into your network and listen!

The EXOGAL Vortex family is a line of streaming devices that allow
you to choose the appropriate features that best fit your listening
style. They all include our new Advanced EXOGAL Clocking System which is
a high-precision, ultra-low jitter Master Clock that intelligently
synchronizes all EXOGAL products, both upstream and downstream. The
entire Vortex family is compatible with all existing EXOGAL products
(some older Comets may require a free firmware upgrade!) The entire
Vortex family streams and plays network files and all the popular
streaming services and as you move up the family line you gain
additional convenience features as well. All members of the Vortex
family are Roon and DLNA compatible endpoints.

How do I choose which components I need for my system?

The EXOGAL Vortex family makes it possible for a listener to pick and
choose their system components in ways that have never been possible
until now. This kind of freedom can cause a lot of confusion
and consternation so allow us to help you understand how to pick and
choose your components.

I have a non-EXOGAL amplifier that I love...

Well, clearly you haven’t heard an Ion!
But seriously, we get it. You’ll need a Comet (for those analog RCA or
XLR outputs to your amplifier) and then you can use any Vortex family
member (X1-X4) depending on your streaming needs. (an X1-4, and a Comet)

I have a few analog components like my turntable and phono stage that I just can’t part with...

You’ll need a Comet (for those analog RCA
inputs) and then you can use any Vortex family member (X1-X4) depending
on your streaming needs. Plug the Vortex into the Comet’s EXONET input,
and connect an Ion to the Comet’s EXONET output and you’re all set! (an
X1-4, a Comet, and an Ion)

With my speakers, I really need a subwoofer...

You’ll need a Comet (for those analog RCA
outputs to your subwoofer) and then you can use any Vortexfamily member
(X1-X4) depending on your streaming needs. Plug the Vortex into the
Comet’s EXONET input, and connect an Ion to the Comet’s EXONET output
and you’re all set! (an X1-4, a Comet, and anIon)

I’m all digital, all the time and my speakers are full-range...

All you need is one of the non
entry-level Vortex family members (X2-X4) depending on your
streaming needs. Plug the Vortex into the Ion’s EXONET input and you’re
good to go! (an X2-X4 and an Ion)

I’m all digital, and I only listen through headphones...

All you need is the Vortex X4. Plug in your headphones and enjoy the music! (an X4)
